Switching from UEFI to UEFI with CSM, with all the other previous stuff still off - FAIL

Turning off UEFI and Switching into Legacy Mode - It will boot gParted and Fedora, but still won't boot Ubuntu or Lubuntu. Both *buntus get to the loading screen that says *buntu and has the progress bar made of dots below it and then they just sit there. This is not a tenable option either from what I've read because Windows 8 won't boot in Legacy Mode anyways.

I should say, I installed the Windows 8.1 upgrade prior to attempting any of this.

So it sounds like there are two problems here. The UEFI issue and something else preventing it from loading properly even in Legacy Mode.

For the UEFI issue, I am trying to get a BIOS update for this laptop, but MSI's website is poor.

I have also heard of a boot manager called reFind. Will this assist me?

And I don't know what the problem is with the Legacy Mode? Perhaps an nVidia issue? Is there a set of boot parameters I can use? The laptop uses a nvidia gfx controller.

Any assistance PLEASE would be appreciated. I haven't had so much problems putting Linux on anything in a long time.

EDIT 2013/12/12:

So I hit escape on the loading screen when booting the Ubuntu LiveCD in Legacy mode and it showed the stack trace off the kernel panic during boot it is the following below. It seems to indicate a problem with the nouveau kernel module during LiveCD boot. Anyone know what the right kernel parameters that I should with this are?:

Solution:1

Make sure you've fully turn off your Intel Rapid Start and Secure Boot,and try it from BIOS,and i assume you have a Pre-Installed 64-bit Windows 8 with UEFI since it is pre-installed so you also need 64-bit *Buntu,but for make sure try Ubuntu first and for the full help you can try this Installing Ubuntu Alongside a Pre-Installed Windows with UEFI
